We are so excited to bring this program to our community. BSC (Black Sister Circle) is an affinity group for Black girls ages 13-18. The purpose of the group is to provide space for young Black girls to build a community that empowers them, uplift the histories and contributions of Black girls and women, explore the sociopolitical issues that impact them, and celebrate every aspect of who they are.
The workshops are donation based, and we encourage families to only pay what they can.
